Do you really want an answer or was this rhetorical?
Anyway, I don't condemn them to Hell, I am just not sure they are going to get into paradise if they continue to embrace what the Bible says is not a natural affection. It isn't any worse or better than someone who commits adultery but if we continue to embrace our sins, we are pushing God away. (There is always celibacy) I guess it depends on if you want a heaven on earth, which is temporary or if you want eternal heaven)
I do not believe all souls are eternal. I do believe that the punishment for sin is death. (not eternal burning and suffering) I also believe that God can relieve us from our temptations and desires if we ask Him to. Finally and most of all, I believe God is the final Judge. It isn't my place to do it, I can only pass on what the Bible says and then Judgment is up to God. Only God knows the true intentions of a person.

Why should a person call what's wrong as being right? If homosexuality is considered wrong, should we just close our eyes to it? Life on this earth lasts for an average of around 75 years. Life in Heaven lasts FOREVER... Why give up something that is unending for something that will last for only a few years? They don't have Heaven on earth...no way. A man and woman that fall in love usually feel that their love for each other will never end and they can't envision life without the other person. Then, as time passes, what once seemed so wonderful isn't so wonderful and they opt for divorce. This CAN happen to gays as well. So, what happened to that Heaven on earth? If persecution, rejection, knowing your "different" and the greater possibility of dieing of AIDS is Heaven--I don't want to know Hell.

I'm not condeming them to hell. That's not my job.
But I think you need to attend a circle jerk or go into a gay bar's bathroom, if you're not gay that is.
I think if 20/20 did a thing on Gays as they do on Pediphiles there would be a lot less pro gay heteros in the world.
If think if there were hidden cameras showing what it's all about people would have a knee jerk reaction.
Showing video footage of 13 year old boys close dancing and kissing in a boys gay bar (Like Genos in Los Angeles) is going to have a profound affect on the average human.
I always wanted to do that in a film. One day maybe I will, just to get a knee jerk reaction.

I'm a Christian and I Can't condem anyone to hell. I have no right or authority to do so. Matter of fact I defend them quite frequently, they are just as much loved of God as I am. They need Christ as much as anyone does. Nowhere in the Bible can we find the command to condem anyone. However I do find in the Bible The great commision, which was given to us by Jesus at his departure back to heaven and that was to go forth and preach the good news that salvation is at hand, to tell people about Jesus and what he did for us. We are told to love one another as Jesus showed us love. What a person is before they are saved is none of my bussiness, my bussiness is to show them love and compassion, understanding, and tell them about the amazing grace that saved me from the wicked life I was living before I came to know Jesus. Suffice to say, if Jesus has a problem with a persons lifestyle or how they live, its HIS job to deal with that, not mine.

A Christian cannot condemn anyone to hell.
God judges and can condemn.
Christians just have the rule book by which God judges.
Do not mistake a Christian's warning for condemnation.

I used to be homosexual and I was a stubborn fool, insistent on having my own way.
Then I met Jesus Christ and realized the full weight of my stupidity and shame and I carried around that shame for years after leaving that life, even though He fully forgave me.
Homosexuality is not heaven, it's running from the love of Jesus; the greatest thing there is is His love; nothing compares to the love of Christ. For on the cross He died for a wretch like me and a wretch like you.

ookkayy, but actually, if u are a christian, and gay, i've been taught that you will go to heaven. the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy. which basically means the only reason you won't go to heaven, is if you don't believe in jesus. essentially, when jesus died, all your sins were forgiven. if i steal a candy bar from a store, then two seconds later get hit by a car and die, i won't have had time to ask for forgiveness, but i go to heaven anyway because i believe in jesus, and i sinned, all past,present, and future sin was washed away when i accepted jesus as my saviour. so basically if you're gay, it's just two christians who aren't married but live together, have kids, etc. because you are supposed to be married. the sin is no different, or worse than premarital sex. and many christians have that......feel free to throw that in someone's face if they get judgemental

Christians aren't the ones doing the condemning. That's reserved for God. And it isn't just reserved for homosexuals either.
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools..... 26. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31. Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Romans 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. (THIS INCLUDES ME TOO).
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (ME AGAIN)
HERE'S MY ESCAPE FROM JUDGMENT
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation..... 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
